The work is divided.intiiietters or chapters", in WhiCh the au thor has collected a vast amount of useful informs tion in regard to the Blind-and Deaf and Dumb Asy• louse, Ohio. From our personal knowledge of the industry and attainments of the author, and of I ter perusing a few chapters of his book, we hesitate not to sky, that it , is a work that should be in the hands of every person who wishes to' promote the moral, .physical and intellectual condition of his fellowmen.

One very current report, however, She contradicts in , the most positive and emphatic terms. So far from her being brought to London in 1851, she states theta is 'wholly untrue that she has any engagement with him, either for London or any other city or part of the European continent. She writes apparently very much pleased with the Amer. icon people, having met with a great many very good, kind, hospitable friends in her translantic tour.

Capt. roster, of the steamer Alabama, informs Lieut.-Maury that a short time ecince a bottle was picked up on the east side of Old Providence Island in the West Indies, twenty two months after it had been thrown overboard off the Cape of Good Hope. But for being cast ashore here, this solitary cruiser would probably have entered the Gull Stream, and ;then it might have been cast up on the shores of Jurope. The investigations of the currents of the seas which aro conducted with so much labor and patience at. the- National Observatory, have led to some cu• rious and interesting discoveries. Among these we are informed that there is reason to believe in the ex istence of .. a current from the Red Sea around Cape Horn, thence through the West Indies, and by way of the Gulf ,Stream, to the English Channel; and, moreover, that this current from the Red Sea divides itself on the other side of the Cape of Good Hope; one part of which passes around this Cape to the West Indiee;as in the case of the Old Providence • bottle, while the.other portion passes south of New Holland, thence in a southeast direction to the re gions of the ice or land of the Antarctic. Being here deflected 'it returns to the north 'am the ice• bearing current which enters the Atlantic on this I side of Cape Horn. Bottles, that have been thrown overboard into this current have been picked up on the Irish shores. Thus two bottles being cast into the Red Sea, it May be Conceived how it is possible for them to se. parate with the current to the eastward of Good Hope, and, escaping all- the accidents of being thrown outby the way, they might again come togeth er In the West Indies, after having doubled, one the :ape of Good Hope, the other Cape Horn. , STRUCK Tom Vir.aomi.—About -seventy_members for the Quebec bar left the Superior Court, and have refused ro,plead there, the Court having establiehed , - • 4 scale of fees which, the bar •thinke in , Insu ffi cient.

It is even probable that a formal demand will be made upon Lord Palmerston for the withdrawal of Mr. Chatfield, who is goner. ally, and, not without reason, believed to be the conga of all the difficulties.

Deems, on the 11th inst., presented two me% morials from citizens of Cincinnati, asking Congress to purchase the Louisville Canal, and make it free. We think Congress can do much better than that. To enlarge the present canal to the size needed by the navigation of the river, would cost an immense sum, and then not answer the purpose. Nor do we think the building of a canal at Jeffersonville, on the Indiana side, would be any better. W e think the preferable plan would be to build a dam nea r the foot-of the falls, with a large lock in tho dam. That would answer for all seasons of the year.— Navigation would net be obstructed by either low or high water; When the river would be high, boats - could pass over the dam as they piss over the falls when the stage of the water permits, and when that could not be done, they 'could pave through the lock, not occupying over half on hour in the transit. We hope, before Congress does any thing in re lation to this subject, it will be folly informed as to the whole merits of the three plans.

Mr. STITACIZOteiI course, although less conspicu. ous, perhaps, than Borne others, has nevertheless been entirely consistent with the principles of the party he represents, and he will carry . with him into his retirement, the consciousness of having faithfully and honorably discharged the trust re. posed It is to be hoped the committee appointed by the caucus will devise some plan by which the difficulties that seem to exist in the State Central Committee may be speedily reconciled. The re 4 cent unanimous action of the Democratic mem., bers of the Legislature, should have the effect of soothing any unkind feelings that maylaavesprong up in consequence of the action of the State Com% mittee. We ate about entering upon-u.most irn. portant campaign, the successful issue of which will depend, in . a great . measure, upon the state of feelingwith which we enter upon it. if, as apar, ty, we permit mere differences- of opinion on , trig fling subjects to distract and disorganize, we. can scarcely hope to prosecute it as triumphantly as we assuredly can if perfect unanimity pervades our ranks. The points at issue in the Central Committee ate certainly not of sufficient importance to justi fy those who hare taken part in it, to carry it to such lengths as wilt result to the detriment of the party at large. At this moment the organize. lion of the DemOcratic party is most complete, and the prospect beyond is certainly most flatter. ing. Any thing, therefore, calculated to distract or promote rfissensiona.phould be deprecate& by those who desire to retain-the present efficient orq ganization, and secure the certain success of the party.

Father Mathew, writing from Pensacola, Fla. gives a very animated account of his labors for the last six months. His mission has been most abundantly successful. After leaving New Or leans early in May, where, during the six weeks previous he had received fourteen thousand adher ents, he proceeded up the Mississippi, and having visited Donaldsonville, reached Natchez. Next he visited Vicksburgh, where Mayor Rock told him that be had instituted a most rigid scrutiny, the result of which was that out of 700 disciples only three , have violated the pledge. Similar cheering statements were' frequently received:by him from thrr.ludges and public authorities of the different States he has visited. They say crime is disappearing, and that selfcrespect and moral progress every where follow in the train of tem. perance. Father Mathew spent the mid-summer months at the Hot Spring's 'of, Arkansas, whence he returned in improved , health and spirits, and then a week at Little Rock, Arkansas, and then proceeded up the Mississippi, toMernphis, where a most cordial reception awaited him. The May or, the public authorities, and the citizens all uni ted to render his stay agreeable, He proceeded from this to St. Louis, which he reached at the close of September, where, during five weeks, he administered the pledge to 'over Ten Thousand persons. Among these was a large proportion of the young' men engaged in commercial and mar. cantile pursuits.
